Introduction of Tea

• Tea is the most widely consumed beverage in the world, after water.
• In 2016 researchers discovered the oldest tea in the world in a Chinese tomb. The tea caddies contained tea leaves left in the tomb of the Han Dynasty Emperor Jing who was buried around 141 BC.
• The art of reading tea leaves is known as Tasseography. This word originated in France. Tasse meaning cup. This extended to reading coffee grains and wine too. No one knows the exact origin of Tasseography.
